Alphonso Davies, captain of the Canadian men’s national soccer team, has been banned from driving for a month after being pulled over by police in Munich last week.
According to a source, the 24-year-old Bayern Munich full-back was stopped by police on Thursday morning and tested positive on a breathalyzer test, showing 0.6 grams of alcohol per liter (the legal limit in Germany is 0.5 grams per liter, compared to 0.8 grams per liter for alcohol). crime).
The source, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter, said the Edmonton native was fined, given two demerit points and had his driver’s license suspended for a month.
German tabloid Bild reported that Davis was behind the wheel of the Lamborghini at the time of the stop.
Davis started for Bayern in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany confirmed to Sky before Saturday’s game that there had been an incident involving Davis and that he would be sanctioned internally.
When asked why Davis started, Kompany said he didn’t want to punish the team by not starting him.
Considered one of the best left-backs in the world, Davis has scored 16 goals and provided 17 assists in 56 appearances for Canada. He sat out Canada’s recent CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal against Suriname “as a precaution due to physical fatigue,” according to Canada Soccer.
Davis’ contract with Bayern expires at the end of the 2024-25 season and he has been linked with several top clubs in Europe.
